As sad and humble as I am, some of my earliest and fondest memories feature insisting to my mum that I wanted to climb up and toddle along this little mound of cobbles on the way into St Werburgh's Square and the rest of town. Ah...great fun!

Is it simply a left-over as part of the older street or is it something else all together?

yeah remember doing that myself and good point but i have no idea what its use is or where it was left from

be interesting to find out though

ill keep watching this

Your best asking somebody with access to some old birkenhead maps to see what was there before that structure on top. That would be a good start to make I think. Derek has some old maps I think, he has helped me out before with my enquiries

It use to be a road that went up to grange road and there was a news agent on the left hand side.you came out by Allisons.

Follow up row of houses on the left and church wall on the right.Both went from bourough rd to grange road
